Shooting Soldiers Already Wounded.

y
The enemy would not Intentionally
shoot man already wounded, knowing
him to be such. Quite the contrary.
When fugitive from the enemy's line
was deserted and it was plain that he was
wounded no decent soldier would aim st
him. He might, however, be wounded
again by one of the random bullets with
which the air was filed. Besides, the
battlefield at times was so obscured by
smoke that il was not easy to tell
whether the isolated figures moving in the
rear Of the euemy's line were wounded or
were mere runawayS; and any soldier
would rather shoot a skedaddler from the
enemy'S line than one who stuck to his
comrades and his colors. 1t happened.
therefore, that large proportion of the
seriously wounded were wounded more
than once. While hmpincy or crawling TO
the rear they would. perhaps. have TO
cross open or much exposed ground while
on their way. One of the'awfulest in
stances Of this within the writer's ex-
perience was at Antietam, whore dead
Confederate was found after the battle
hanging head first over fence at Sunken
Lane, his body swollen by the sun and as
full OF Union bullets as if the lead had
been peppered at him. The poor fellow
probably had first been wounded, and
then, in the act Of climbing the fence in
order TO escape 10 the rear, had been
killed, and while hanging there dead had
been shot at repeatedly by different
Federals. who each on discovering him
for the first time would be unable through
the smoke 10 see that he was already dead.

A Colored woman. Invention.


Taiaferro county again takes the cake.
We were shown few days ago an lnven-
ton for coupling cars which is wonderful,
and was invented by a colored woman,
Mary Stewart, of this county. She was
the first servant born TO Hon Alexander
H. Stephens, and has lived all her life In
Taliaferro county. Her invention is simple
and almost perfect She said the idea
came to her like a dream, and she made
the model according to her vision. she
used for material in making the model
old oyster cups. We believe her idea car
ried out viii make her fortune. She IS
the only colored woman inventor in the
world Crawfordsville GA Democrat.
The person that has perhaps the most
influence in the seraglio is the mother Of
the sultan. This proves the extreme ven
Grafton in which Turks hold their parents.
The father of a sultan can never be living,
for if he is alive his son viii not be sultan.
But nothing prevents the mother from
still being of this world when her son
ascends the throne. Woe to the people if
this woman is wicked, greedy and capri
cioss, for often she does everything with
out being responsible for anything. The
saltan himself is afraid to disobey his
mother. Moreover, she is usually the
source Of all disgraces and all favors, and
the supreme art Of the ambitious is TO get
acquainted with her and to obtain her
good viii by the Intervention Of other
women that have the right and the oppor-
tunity to approach her.
Concealed behind her son, she makes
and unmakes grand viziers, ministers,
walls or provincial governors. She is the
Invisible thread that elevates or lowers,
the mysterious roulette that enriches or
ruins. Then, as she is most frequently
ignorant, inexperienced and narrow, it is
always best for the state that the SulranS
be orphans entirely when fortune seats
them upon the throue.-The COsmopOl-

Nilsson and Queen Victoria.
Before the prirna donna left Osborne
the queen begged her to choose any gift
she most fancied-a diamond ring, q

estly begged for photograph of her maj
esty with her autograph written below,
wish which met with immediate fulfill
ment, and, am sorry to add, one which
must have been after the donor owns
heart, as the queen is not celebrated for
glad munificence. Among other treasures
the prima donna highly values are an an
tique set of pearls, diamonds and emeralds
from Napoleon III, representing Faust and
Marguerite, which can be taken apart and
forms different pieces Of jewelry; set of
diamonds and emeralds from the emperor

THE VOICES OF BIRDS,

That starlings and ravens can talk is a
we'll known fact The mocking bird is a
perfect plagiarist in the feathered world;
he initiates almost all songsters even the
nightingale. Parrots are able to make a
noise like that produced by O saw, the
sound of cork drawn from bottle, and
other noises still more peculier. The
king6sher can reproduce most accurately
the cackling of hens, the barking OF
dogs, the quscking OF ducks and the
bleating of sheep.
Birds as well as mankind are apt to be
vain of their voices and try to excel one
another. Especially is this the case with
nigbtinRales. In hedge inhabited by
them one may often observe that their
voices increase two. ay, three fold in
strength, and sometimes some of these
birds are found with their throats torn -
they have simply sung themselves to
death.
The stork in Africa, it is said, is dumb,
and his clappering is but an imitation
of the sharpening OF sycthes, This sound
is supposed to be specially pleasing to
the stork, because on freshly cut meadows
he always finds food in plenty, and there
fore it is suggested that he initiates this
noise as suggestive OF rich dinner. All
Of these birds show great fondnese for
and are said to be capable of initiating
the human voice, if one we're only to take
sufficient pains in training them. And
more than this they can repeat entire
words like the parrot.
Not only in music have birds been the
model followed by man, but also that Pc
culiar and entertaining art, yentrilo-
quism has been copied from them. just
as many Of them sing out boldly and fill
the air with their melodies, others form
their sounds without opening their bills,
The pigeon is a well known instance OF
this; its cooling can be distinctly heard,
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-04-16

in winter. Pork is unfit for human food
at any season. Eat less butter and grease
of all kinds in spring. If potatoes are
sound and mealy they are not objection
able; cheesy potatoes are unfit. There is
the utmost need for the exercise of eau
ton in the use Of vegetables of every kind.
Unless they have been well preserved and
have a wholesome flavor, the part of wis
dom is to avoid them. Raw cabbage that
has been spoiled by freezing is often
served in oyster houses of certain class.
The odor is disagreeable and readily
marks it. In spring it is important that
the heaviest mesl should be eaten in the
middle of the day. The warm rains pro-
duce an atmospheric condition which
causes drowsinees. Eating a hearty
meal in the midst Of this pressure
adds TO the weight upon the system. In
daylight the demands OF business or duty
will enable you to cope with it. In the
evening there is no such stimulus, and
the result is injury to health. The even
ing meal should be light and easily di-
gested. Don't eat buckwheat cakes or
doughnuts. II you are a meat eater be
sure that the meat has been broi]ed or
roasted. Don't eat fried food Of any kind.
1t is not desirable to feel that you have
eaten enough. Moderation is the best
doctor.-Herdld Of Health for Aprit.

A TIM ELY WARNING.

While a British brig was gliding
smoothly along before good breeze in
the South Pacific, short time ago, a
flock OF small birds about the size, shape
and color of paroquets settled down in
the rigging and passed an hour or more
resting. The second mate was so anxious
to find out the species to which tie visit
ing strangers belonged that he tried to
entrap specimen but the birds were too
shy to be thus caught, and too spry to be
seized by the quick hands of the sailors.
st the end of about an hour the birds
took the briggs course, and disappeared,
but toward nightfall they came back
and passed the night in the main-top
The next morning the birds flew off
again, and when they returned at noon,
the sailors scattered some food about the
decks, By this time the birds had be-
come so tame that they hoped about the
decks picking up the crumbs. That
afternoon an astonishing thing happened.
The flock came flying swiftly toward the
brig. Every bird seemed to be piping as
if pursued by some little Invisible enemy
on wings, and they at once huddled down
behind the deck-house. The superstiti-
GUS sailors at once called the captain of
the brig, who rubbed his eyes and looked
at the barometer. A glance showed that
something was wrong with the elements,
and the brig was put in shape to outride
storm. The storm came about twenty
minutes after the birds had reached the
vessel. For few minutes the sky was
like the waterless bottom OF ID lake-a
vast arch of yellowish midland torrents
Of rain fell. Why it did not blow very
hard, no one knows; but on reaching
port, two days later, the captain learned
that great tornado had swept across
that part of the sea. The birds left the
vessel on the morning after the storm
and were not seen again. Maryland

HOW TO ROAST MEAT.

Mrs. Emma r. Ewing, Of the School of
Domestic Economy, at the Iowa Agri-
cultural College, says:
=" In roasting meats of all kinds the
method adopted should be the one that
in the most perfect manner preserves the
juices inside She meat. To roast beef in
the best possible manner: Place the clean
cut side Of the meat upon smoking hot
pan, which must be over a quick fire.
Press it close to the pan until scared and
slightly Drowned. Reverse and let the
opposite side become similarly scared
and brown. Then put it at once in the
oven, the heat of which should be firm
and steady but not too intense and leave
it undisturbed until cooked. The time
that should be allowed for cooking beef
in this manner is twenty minutes to the
pound, if it is to be rare, less half an
hour, deducted from the aggregate time
on account of soaring. In other words,
five pound roast Of beef will require
about an hour and quarter, six.ponnd
roast an hour and half, and SO on.
IL the oven is not too hot the beef re-
quires no basting, and is better without
it, When the oven is at the proper tenn
perature, and the cooking is going on all
right, the meat will keep up gentle
sputtering ia the pan. IF, upon opening
| the oven door, this sputtering is not per-
| ceptible, more heat is required. But if,
in addition to the spnttering, any smoke
is discernible in the oven, the heat is too
intense and should be lessened. Unless
the heat Of the oven is too great the
drippings in the pan will not burn and
smoke, and when the meat is cooked there
will be q thin coating of brown jslly in
the pan, where the meat rested, which, by
the addition Of stock or water, will make
delicious gravy.
Aroast of beef should never be washed,
and if it has accidentally been wet or
moistened, it should be carefully wiped
| dry before it Is scared or put to cook.
Soaring almost instantly coats the Cat
side Of piece Of meat and prevents the
escape Of juices in the after process of
roasting, while firm, steady heat gently
but thoroughly cooks it, and thus both
juices and favor are preserved. Blasting
is troublesome as well as damaging
process. And as salt and water have o
tendency to tougher and extract the
juices of meat, they should not be used
on it while roasting, if it is desired to
have the meat sweet, juicy and tender.

SOME ENGLISH woMEN's woRK

English women in this generation have
done some rather remarkable work it
must be confessed. Mrs. Leonowens,
Catharine Macquoid, Lady Brassey, and
Lady Anne Blunt have all acquired q
reputation for adventurous travel, TO-
gether with number OF others. Iu
political economy Mrs. Fawcett has made
IN enviable name; so has Mrs. Green in
history; and SO has Miss Martineau in
both history and political economy. In
philosophical thought Frances Power
Cobbe has achieved distinction. Mrs.
jameson, Lady Eastlake, Mrs. Haweis,
and Lydia Scott are only few OF the
names that are widely known in the realm
of art criticism, as Elizabeth Thompson,
of the "Roll Call" and Kate Greenaway,
are but two instances of large number
who have used their pencil and brush
acceptably in art itself. Only three or
four men Of England have excelled the
work OF George Eliot, Charlotte Bronte,
Emily Bronte, Amelia B. Edwards, Anne
Thackerey, and Miss Yonge in the writ
ing of novels; the last, through the youth
Of her readers, having an especially wide
influence. And il the poems OF Adelaide
Proctor, Jean Ingelow, and Mrs. Craik
have not reached the very topmost intel
lectual heights, Mrs. Browning's have, and
so have few of George Eliot's, and they
have, at any rate, succeeded in touching
and warming the hearts of those who
have been and always will be inaccessible
to their so-called superiors. Women who
have been able to accomplish so much
with crippled means and methods of edu-
cation and habit have right to expect
that their successors, to whom the royal
paths have at last been opened, shall
accomplish great deal more.
